Not sure, what I should be wishing for. I just hope, we won't lose any. Assuming 2011 and onwards WRC cars, Toyota's, Hyundai's and Citroen's are not possible due to licensing, my wishlist is quite short: Group B 4WD: Audi Sport quattro S1 from DR1 Up to 2000cc: SUBARU Impreza S12b, maybe that strange Lancer Evo WRC04 car R5: Skoda Fabia Evo, Ford Fiesta Mk8 NR4/R4: Lancer Evo IX But none of these I REALLY, REALLY need to have. I just hope they get a really cool (OFFLINE) career mode next time. With fictional teams you have to enter and signing contracts with specific goals you have to reach and going up the years chronological from the MINI Cooper to the modern R5's. But with an open end, so you just can continue after going through all of them. The scenario-mode was a step in the right direction. I need a reason to drive all the cars in the game, I tend to use only a few of them, despite loving most of them. Sorry, got a bit off-topic 🤣

Soooo, finished. Did it in the middle of the night (between 5 and 6 am here), just to be save. SS1: Was solid, a bit too cautious, but I wanted to keep the tyres alive. SS2: Again, first half too cautious, but I started making small mistakes in the second half culminating in a big mistake going of the road. SS3-SS6: Did several stupid mistakes, touching the inside, leaving the track and so on. Car was good, but at first I was too cautious and then pushed too hard and made many mistakes, those I usually don't do. Meh. SS7: No big drama, was ok. Result: Could have been much better, did too many stupid mistakes.

I tried since 2pm starting the rally, saw many, many, many connection-error messages in that time. You can't imagine how many times the game tries to connect to the server before you actually race! And after that... I'm so angry right now. If I had known the game releases on PS+ for the greedy casuals today, I had done the run yesterday and wouldn't have even tried to play today. Because it's Codemasters...the worst developer I know in terms of online functionality. And I play Nintendo-Games regularly. I managed to do the first 3 stages and then ran out of time. All 3 stages were a mess, because I was angry, and therefore not focused and out of rythm. I'm very close to take the disc out of the disc tray and brake it! Now I go play Animal Crossing, to calm down, before I hurt somebody.

If they put a single free credit on my account without asking me, I will explode of anger! I don't want free credits!

Stop lying. "majority"... All these disgusting PR-lies always. You acting like there are just a small number of people who can't connect. The server on xbox one in europe is down! Completely! I lost out on 2 club rallies, one of them is very important to me. And now the complete championship is ruined.

The Colin McRae-Scenarios have no connection to the RaceNet-Servers (thankfully), you will not lose anything. The achievements are still bugged, though. Do you mean historic championship? The game only tries to upload the time on the leaderboards, the championship should still work, it's one of the offline modes. These are working offline: Historic Championship Custom Championship (single player) FIA World Rallycross Championship Free Drive Colin McRae Scenarios Probably Time Trials, too, but doesn't make much sense, if you can't upload the time.

The random stage generator in DiRT 4 was limited, but quite cool. So I miss that a bit. But if I had to choose between DR 2.0's new surface system and the stage generator, I would choose DR 2.0's system. DiRT 4 had a better career mode and more weather/time of day-options, I miss that definitely, too. Except that...mainly some tracks from older DiRT's. And Pikes Peak.

How about a server VIP-program for launch buyers? All server requests get prioritized for us and all others (especially game pass- and playstation plus-players) need to wait 🤭 Is it really too much to ask for stable servers for longer than a few days in a row? In a game that forces a connection on so many points?

The Servers are extremely slow at the moment. And I mean slow. Everything takes minutes to load and leaderboards don't show up. Platform: X-Box One S Region: Central Europe (Potatoeland) This is just so highly annoying and still the biggest weakpoint of Codemasters.

I did the daily challenge in the SUBARU Legacy RS a few minutes ago. I was on to get a top 20 time with just around 6-7 seconds behind the worlds best. I was pushing extremely hard, but I was already pretty tired. So I did a very small mistake on the very last corner and the game punched me right in my face, giving me 30 seconds. I deserved it. I love it.

The Evo X is not an NR4, it's a R4. That's why the class is called NR4/R4.

To drive you crazy. It's a passion for developers, to get their customers as crazy as they can do. Really, it is not a big deal to put softs/no spare on the car. It literally takes seconds and it's part of the game to select your preferences (in my point of view). And there are situations, were mediums and a spare (or even 2) are a good option. Never used hard tyres/tires/reifen/these black things though, but you could create a loooong club event without service areas. Or a championship in custom championship. 12 stages in a row without service area. Their must be a tyre/tire/reifen/these black thing for that. Both are just wrong. The correct spelling is teier 😀

I personally don't need more liveries, I'm quite happy with the selection now. Wouldn't use plain colors anyways. Since I'm driving in cockpit view, I don't see them as often as others probably, so I don't care that much.

Platform: X-Box One S (latest firmware & game version 1.13.0) Version: Retail Deluxe + Season 3&4 + Colin Flat Out Pack (all DLC that exists installed) Can you replicate it?: Yes, see the description. Experienced where?: SUBARU Impreza S4 Rally (Cockpit view with wheel showing), starts happening in a club-race, followed by testing in time trials. Seems to "corrupt" all other modes. Game reset fixes it temporarily. Description: There is a windscreen-bug on the SUBARU Impreza S4 Rally, that appears as soon as you do a club-race. It will stay this way until you reset the game throughout all other modes. It doesn't matter in wich class/car you do the club race, it triggers the bug on the SUBARU Impreza S4 Rally no matter what. Did a club-race in a VW Golf GTI (Kit Car) and directly after that I did a time trial in greece with the SUBARU and the bug appeared. Did that 3 times and it always happened. The bug appears on all rallies, stages, game modes. Seems to effect only this car. The windscreen "sunshine mirror-effect" seems to get upsidedown due to this bug and blocks the view and distracts quite much. Looks awful too, because you get some low res ghost texture right in your face. Bug: How it is normally:

Did you actually won that scenario? Was huge fun to drive! 😄

Really? Bought the Legends Edition on release, played a few hours and was heavily disappointed about the sound bug on some of the classic cars and therefore stopped playing it enirely. Can't really comment on the rest of the game, because I was mainly interested in the classic content, but that was a huge downer for me. Maybe it got fixed since then, but I doubt it. It's really let me think there is something happening in around a year. Maybe the announcement of DiRT 5 or DiRT Rally 3. Maybe even launch of one of them, because that would be more than 2 years after the launch of DR 2.0. Hmmm...gossip, I can smell it 🤤

Hardest difficulty 91 or 100? Makes a quite huge difference 😉

Well, I'm in 10 other clubs at the moment (only 4 of them are inactive at the moment), so I can deal with it. So I prepare more for this one, I aim for a top 300 position in the end 😀

Well, I expected that will happen at some point. I even thought the Flat Out Pack would be the last touch on the game, but the support is pretty good. My personal opinion is, that games nowadays have too many features, causing the game being too complex to really have a very polished game. Not even Red Dead Redemption 2 or Grand Theft Auto V are not even close to perfection, even with the huge absurd high budget these games have. Only Nintendo-Games are still very polished, but these games have also a huge budget and are 5+ years in development like TLoZ: BotW. Forza Motorsport 7 was a disaster. I was extremely disappointed. I was a FM-player since FM2. But all those changes there made, pushed me away from it. There was a time frame within the life cycle I thought there back on the road, but the last 3-4 updates even introduced new bugs and the game never reached it's true potential. I think this is Microsoft's fault, probably forcing Turn 10 to implement bs like these boxes or clown driver suits and such things. I have not much hope for FM8, because FH4 is just absolutely disgusting right now. DR 2.0 is my last bastion of a true racing simulation right now. No costumes, no gambling, no attention cars that don't belong in the game. For now.

I play also with a controller, so it's doable. But it's maybe a bit easier in the long run with a wheel.

Yeah, well...the mirror bug happened only once, probably very rare. Maybe the replacement bug for the I-mix-my-car-parts-how-I-want-bug 😀 I just don't know if I should wait for the 1.15-thread or just post it in both, or 1.14-thread is enough. These are all not critical in my point of view, so no rush. I also forgot to re-post my beloved stats-bug for monthlies again 😅

Be careful about the grip level, the tyres get eaten very fast on that gravel. I almost fell of the road twice because it started sliding like ice in SS3/SS6 🤣

Err, don't know nothing about gear changing animation. Arrgh, now I will notice 🤣 I had the windshield sun-mirror effect on the wrong side of the windshield in cockpit-view (with wheel position). It was directly in view and I crashed a few times because it "blocked" a bit my view. It's supposed to be on the top of the windshield and it was probably upsidedown. It started to happen in clubs, service area didn't resetted it like with some older bugs. After that I started a time trial race on the same stage (some short greece one) and it was still there. A game restart fixed it. The two new SUBARUs also have some graphical issue on the dashboard while driving in some places like greece and new zealand (depends on the time of day), it's the same issue the Porsche 911 SC RS had and got fixed. Some elements are flickering while driving/being on the start line. But way smaller than on the Porsche. So not a big deal. The Opel Kadett has the same issue on the right side of the dashboard. Yes, I see such small things 🤣 On the positive side: I saw the BMW M1 Procar got fixed! The foots of the co-driver doesn't go into the car anymore. They have a new position. Some reeeeaaallly small detail, but I was impressed that one got fixed!

Well, if that window comes before this typical "uploading to RaceNet" thing pops up, you are f'd. I set myself a few rules before playing some "important" clubs I'm in to avoid that: 1. Make sure you are online/connected to RaceNet: Start My Team once, if that works, you are definitely online. 2. Look how long it takes to actually load the clubs in-game, if it takes forever or even fails the first few tries, I wouldn't risk it. 3. Avoid playing clubs between friday evening and monday morning (CET). It's laughable, but it is the time frame were this happens way more frequently. It got definitly better (there were times last summer, were the clubs were completely down for 3 days), but it's still bad. 4. Look if the webpage loads clubs properly or you getting a "failed to load"-message. Just try to load any leaderboard within the club. Well, you can still do the other 6 stages and show us, what you can do. I look at all times set on the club page frequently. And you still get at least a few points, if you participate.

@PJTierney You maybe overlooked my question about the Legacy RS 😅 Is the missing brake reliability upgrade in My Team for that car intended or a mistake? Wasn't sure to make a bug report about that. I also found/experienced a weird bug with the new SUBARU Impreza S4 Rally, but I'm not sure if that makes sense to report, because I had it only one time so far.
